Lesson2 - Day 3 Call to Go and Make Disciples
Praise God that the first church of 120 people in Acts did not become inwardly focused, but took the blessing of spiritual and relational vitality and shared it with others. Bring this a little more up to date. I thank God for Don and Anita Hopper who were very instumental in me becoming a Christ follower.
The Life Cycle of a church was interesting to see in print.
Reproduction is a key here huh! Not only in us as individuals but us as a church also. We must continue to plant churches.
Personal inventory was pretty tough to swallow. I am lacking in this area of fruitful ministry and clearly do not have Christ's vission for the lost.

Hey Bro!
Its always good to hear your insight.
I struggle with the fruitfulness issue as well. One bright morning when this life is over we'll find out about our fruitfulness. I should think we'll be suprised at how much or how little we've accomplished in the harvest. I think we beat ourselves up alot over this issue, however we need only to plant the seeds which many times lay dormant until the light of Christ strikes them and the Holy spirit begins to convict, teach, and help the soul to spring into life facing towards the Father of life, Abba!
You and I need to be consistant in the planting and leave the harvest to our Daddy. As we seek God the Holy spirit for planting instructions our portion of the harvest will be weak and ineffective. We need the Paraclete, desparately. I pray for this with all my heart.
